With a bang, a bag of grain fell from the grain truck. The rope at the top of the bag came loose, and the grain inside was spilled on the floor. The eyes of everyone in the surrounding area turned to the place where the grain was spilled. Then, everyone's eyes

My eyes widened.

Because at least one-third of the grain dropped on the ground is discolored old rice and moldy rice.

The captain who led the team bent down, grabbed a handful of rotten rice from the ground, stood up slowly, and slowly extended his hand to the officer distributing food in front of him: "Officer Gao Liang, this is what you gave us

food?"

Gao Bin lowered his head and looked at the grain in the other person's hand, but did not answer the other person's question.

The captain angrily threw away the rice in his hand, turned around and walked to the grain cart, grabbed another bag of grain from the inside, drew his knife and stabbed it in. With a turn of his wrist, the grain bag had been cut open, and there was a crash.

With a sound, the grain inside fell out. It was better than the previous bag, but there was also a lot of moldy rice and old rice in it.

The surrounding soldiers roared.

"Official Gao Liang, tomorrow is the New Year, and you don't even have to eat meat or wine, but you can even provide food like this?" The captain was extremely angry: "We have followed the general all the way through life and death, how dare you treat us like this?"

The grain officer surnamed Gao opened his mouth, but made no excuse.

"I've known you were greedy for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to be greedy on us!" The school captain stretched out his hand and pushed the grain officer, causing him to stagger.

If the other party's surname hadn't been Gao, and he was a close relative and confidant of the general, the captain would have stabbed him with a knife.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the captain strode towards the granary.

"What do you want to do?" Gao Liangguan was startled, took a step forward, and stopped in front of him.

"What are you doing? Are you still asking?" The captain sneered: "I'm just getting back what's due to us for our brothers. Don't worry, Gao Liangguan, I will never take an extra pound, but you want to fool me with these things

We brothers will never do it."

"Do you want to grab grain?" Gao Liangguan choked and drew out his knife.

"It's not about robbing, it's about taking back the food that belongs to us!" The captain sneered, pointing to the rotten rice on the ground, and said, "I'm not afraid of this lawsuit, even if it goes before the general."

"Come here!" Gao Liangguan was pushed back a few steps by the captain, but he loudly called to the surrounding grain guards: "Guard the granary, send a signal, someone wants to grab grain!"

The surrounding grain protection guards and the soldiers in the warehouse rushed out and formed a queue behind Gao Liangguan. Their swords were unsheathed and their guns entered the forest. They were already in formation.

The captain looked at the formation and laughed heartily: "I'm fighting the enemy on the front line to the death. Sometimes I'm hungry for several meals. You guys are guarding the granary, and you're all eating fat and fat.

You actually dare to steal our food. Don't think that we don't know about your bullshit. You didn't mention it before because you were too lazy to pay attention. Now everyone is running out of food. If you still do this, I think you are tired of living.

!”

The captain drew his knife and patted his breastplate hard, making a clanging sound. Around him, some soldiers who came to transport food looked at the moldy rice on the ground and seemed to understand something. They also slowly gathered together.

Confronted with the Granary Guards.

Moreover, these people are all people who have spent their lives on the battlefield. When they stood there, they were full of murderous intent. There were very few people with swords drawn, but they slowly moved forward step by step, forcing the granary guards to death.

You have to step back step by step.

The sound of arrows soared into the sky. Gao Liangguan was a little panicked. He looked back and saw that in more than ten steps, he would be retreating to the edge of the warehouse. There was no way to retreat.

But these people must not be allowed to enter the granary.

"If you move forward, don't blame me for being rude!" he roared.

"You're welcome to give it a try!" the captain sneered.

The knife in Gao Liangguan's hand was pressed against the opponent's breastplate, but the captain leaned forward, but Gao Liangguan involuntarily retracted his hand.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, but Gao Liangguan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure appearing in the distance and the flag that followed.

"General Li Yan, you came just in time!" Gao Liangguan breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Li, you have to make the decision for us!" The fierce captain shouted loudly when he saw Li Yan.

Li Yan turned over and dismounted, glanced at the moldy rice on the ground, and then at the captain, and said angrily: "If something happens, don't you know how to go back to the superior officer or even me? How dare you go wild in the land of grain depots, you are

Don’t want to live anymore?”

"General Li, you can't protect him just because his surname is Gao!" the captain shouted aggrievedly: "Look, it's the New Year tomorrow, this bitch hides good things, but gives us these things.

You don’t treat your brothers as human beings!”

"Still stubborn!" Li Yan was furious and struck out with a whip. The captain trembled. Although he stopped making any sound, he could not hide the resentment in his eyes.

Li Yan turned around and looked at Gao Liangguan. Without waiting for the other party to explain, he stretched out his hand and said, "Take this thing off for me!"

Gao Liangguan was shocked. Before he could explain, the soldiers brought by Li Yan swarmed up, pushed him to the ground and tied him up. The grain depot guards, because it was Li Yan who ordered the arrest, did not respond.

Dare to make a sound.

Although Li Yan is not named Gao, his status in front of Gao Yingxiang is much higher than that of Gao Yingxiang.

"Wait!" Li Yan turned around and yelled at the captain.

The face of the captain who had been beaten was full of excitement and admiration: "I knew General Li would make the decision for us."

He turned around and shouted to the soldiers, who all cheered.

Li Yan smiled, signaled the guards to lift Gao Liangguan up, and walked into the grain warehouse.

The door to the warehouse was closed heavily, but Li Yan's face fell.

Gao Liangguan struggled hard: "General Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yan waved his hand, and the guards let go of Gao Liangguan and retreated.

"General Li, you know the truth." Gao Liangguan twisted his body and said: "There are ten large warehouses in the grain warehouse. Now only one warehouse has grain. The rest are all fake.

These molds and old rice were all obtained by me with great effort."

"I know!" Li Yan said: "Gao Sicao, but what do you think will happen if the soldiers know that we actually have no food left?"

Gao Liangguan fell silent for a moment.

"So, Gao Sicao, since something happened today, I can only use you to top the tank first. This is what the general wants!" Li Yan said.

"What do you mean?" Gao Sicao's expression changed.

"I can only say that it's your problem!" Li Yan took a breath and whispered: "I can only say that you were corrupt and violated the law, stealing and selling military rations, which caused some problems with the food."

"General Li, I can't afford this crime. It will cost me my head." Gao Liangguan shouted.

"If you don't say this and the army collapses, you won't be the only one who lost your head!" Li Yan snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I won't cut off your head, but to calm the anger of the soldiers, we have to

Let you go to jail for a while."

"What's the use of cutting off my head?" Gao Liangguan asked: "Is it possible that I can still produce grain?"

"If you survive these few days, maybe there will be food coming." Li Yan refused to say any more. "So, Gao Sicao, I am telling you this to ask you to go to the prison and be more strict with your mouth.

In this way, when the food arrives, it will be regarded as a meritorious service, you know?"

"This scapegoat might crush me to death!" Gao Liangguan said in a trembling voice.

"They all died for the general!" Li Yan patted Gao Liangguan on the shoulder and sighed: "I hope the food can come in soon!"

He casually pulled out two bags of rice from the granary and threw them to his guards. After pouting, the two guards picked up the bags knowingly and walked out of the warehouse.

The snow-white rice made the captain waiting outside smile like a flower.

But seeing Li Yan Tieqing's face, he felt a little confused.

Then, he saw Gao Liangguan being tied up and escorted out of Churan, and then walked quickly towards the direction of the General's Mansion.

"General, what happened? Could it be that this bitch really tampered with the military rations?"

Li Yan nodded with a heavy face: "This bitch really did something. He exchanged moldy rice for good rice and sold the good rice for money. But don't worry, we can get the rice back right away. Let's get it back."

Brothers, if you hold on for two days, although the rice is a little rotten, it can still survive the hunger for a few days. We will catch the guy's subordinates immediately and we can get the food back."

"This bitch won't sell the grain to the other side, right?" The school captain looked at the back of the high grain officer and gritted his teeth: "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him back. This year, everyone is short of food!"

"If you can't catch it, go and snatch it back!" Li Yan said coldly.

In the General's Mansion, in front of Gao Yingxiang, a civil servant was crying with tears in his eyes.

"General, please bring some military rations to help the people of Huichuan! Before the general went on the expedition, I tried my best to collect all the food for the general. Now the people of Huichuan have no overnight rations. Every village

Some people are starving to death, and if this continues, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!"

Li Yan was walking outside the hall and stopped when he saw this scene.

"Come in, just in time to tell Du Fuzun the actual situation!" Gao Yingxiang waved.

Li Yan walked into the hall, without explaining, but said directly to Gao Yingxiang: "General, the trouble at the granary has been overcome first. I arrested Gao Sicao and accused him of stealing and selling military rations."

Du Zhifu, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up and said in shock: "What, what? What is going on?"

Li Yandao: "Master Du Fu, it's not that the general doesn't supply food, it's that there is no food. After we retreated to Nongdongfu, we suffered a major defeat. The major logistics camp was attacked, and there was not much food at all.

Now in order to stabilize the army, we can only cover it up by saying that Gao Sicao stole and sold military rations. You said, we can't even guarantee food for the army now, how can we give you food?"

Magistrate Du was in despair, "What should we do? What should we do?"

"General, when will the food from Jianchang Mansion come in? How much is it?" Li Yan asked.

"Within ten days, a batch of grain should arrive, about 100,000 catties!" Gao Yingxiang said.
